    some expresstools commands not working

    Hi

    I installed express tools with ACADE abd ACAD, some of them don't work, example:

     

    _.sysvdlg Unknown command "SYSVDLG".  Press F1 for help.

     

    other commands missing:

    arctextx, txt2mtxt,mocoro,dimex,dimin,qlattach

     

    any idea

    Thx in advance

    Patrick

    Is DEMANDLOAD set to 3? required.

     

    At the command line, type EXPRESSTOOLS: if it fails, ET was not installed. If it works, it will load your ETs. Follow it with EXPRESSMENU command.

    Hello Dean

    Tried that already, worked perfectly but nothing changed, still some commands missing

    (although always the same) seems that it won't load certain .arx files

    I can load the file manually (for example sysvdlg.arx) and then the command will work

    don't understand why "most" of the commands are loaded and some are not, have been searching where in the ACAD startup the loading appears but could not find it

    Regards

    Patrick

    I am experiencing the same problem. I followed all of the directions I could find to load Expresstools and I cant get the one command that I want to use to work (along with others). All I want to do is make my own linetypes. If someone could tell me how to either a) fix Expresstools or b) tell me how to do this without using Expresstools, I would appreciate it.

    When you installed your AutoCAD version, did you "migrate" from an older version?

    Uninstalling and reinstalling Express Tools from your program disk not an option?
